I love Melcor EQ's! They just sound killer. Smooth as Butta, yet punchy like tangerines!
Top pic is a single Melcor EQ-20 two band Eq. Huge bottom end. These can make a 18" bass drum sound like a 28" circus drum! Top end is smooth and open. This runs on a single 24v supply and would make a great DIY project. It would be great if it could be made with an adjustable low freq. Top end has 3 and 5K selectable, as well as a HF. Even with the HF engauged the attenuator adds some juice.
This you may have seen before. The top EQs are the later big brother to the above. THese are Melcor GME-20's with dual 1731 opamps. To me there is not much better sounding. These are basically two band versions of API 550A's. You can run one eq into the other for four bands with out any added noise I can tell.
Just as an FYI, we have seem some modules racked over the last few months. These panels were all cut by hand with a drill, and a file only. No real power tools or cutters. I scribed the outline on the panel. Then drilled a bunch of holes all around the inside of the line, until the center fell out. Then took a file and smoothed it all out. The trick is simple. As you get closer to the line, you slow down. You start to check more and more often to make sure you don't over shoot it. Take a look.
